Season 8 of Fortnite rolls on with a new set of challenges to complete across PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch, and mobile. Week 6’s challenges run the gamut from visiting animal-shaped structures to finding the highest elevations on the island, but another one that may throw you for a loop is to search where the knife points on the Treasure Map loading screen. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered.

Much like the similar challenge from Week 4, all you need to do is look where the knife rests on the Treasure Map loading screen (pictured below), then head to that location to find a free Battle Star. What makes this a bit tricky is that the map isn’t labeled, so if you aren’t familiar with the layout of the island, it may not be entirely clear where you need to go, but the Battle Star can be found near Lonely Lodge.

Specifically, the star will appear in the middle of a forest located in-between Lonely Lodge and the racetrack north of Paradise Palms, near the top of quadrant J6. Pick it up like you would any other item, then finish the match and you’ll complete the challenge. If you need more help finding it, you can watch us collect the Battle Star in the video at the top of this guide.

There are still a few weeks remaining in Fortnite Season 8, so you still have time to complete any outstanding challenges from earlier weeks and unlock all the new Battle Pass rewards. If you need help finishing them, you can find tips and guides for all of the trickier tasks in our complete Fortnite Season 8 challenges roundup.

Week 6’s challenges follow shortly after the release of Fortnite’s 8.20 content update, which added another new weapon to the game: the Boom Bow. Unlike typical bows, this one has shotgun shells on its arrow tips which will explode upon impact. On top of that, the update brought back the Sniper Showdown LTM and gave a buff to peppers, one of the new scavenged items recently added to the game.

The next big update for The Division 2 is coming very soon, and it adds a new, more challenging difficulty mode, as well as a new World Tier, weekly invasions, new weapons and gear, and more. Not only that, but the first raid is on the way at the end of the month.

The new update, Tidal Basin, is part of the first post-launch free content, Invasion: Battle for D.C., and it arrives on April 5–here’s exactly when. It adds a new stronghold, Tidal Basin, which is occupied by the Black Tusk faction. “Tidal Basin is now home to some of the most powerful enemies in the game, and they’re not going down easy,” Ubisoft says.

Players who successfully complete the stronghold will rise to World Tier 5, and in turn this lets players get gear scores in the range of 450-500. Reaching World Tier 5 unlocks new weekly invasions that see Black Tusk enemies take over missions and strongholds throughout D.C. They are described as “harder” than other challenges, and the reward for completing them is better loot and gear.

Additionally, Invasion: Battle for D.C. adds a new Heroic difficulty setting that Ubisoft says makes for “some of the most challenging gameplay yet.” On top of that, new two exotic weapons, Pestilence and Nemesis, along with gear sets True Patriot, Hardwired, and Ongoing Directive, are coming to The Division 2 in the update.

In addition, a new PvP map titled Fort McNair is added in the update, while there are more cosmetics to acquire through the Invasion Apparel Event.

Looking ahead, The Division 2’s first raid, Operation Dark Hours, is slated to arrive on April 25. It’s an eight-player raid that is described as “the toughest of all challenges,” and one that will “test the teamwork of the most experienced agents.”

Even further out, Ubisoft will add a new Specialization to The Division 2, but there is no word yet on what it’ll be or when it’ll release.

Invasion: Battle for D.C. is the first of at least three free content drops for The Division 2 in its Year 1. The others include Episode 1: DC Outskirts Expedition (Summer 2019), Episode 2: Pentagon: The Last Castle (Fall 2019), and Episode 3 (Winter 2019).

Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which are among the best-selling Nintendo Switch games, are getting virtual reality support through Labo VR.

For Mario Odyssey, this will come in the form of three new mini missions that involve collecting musical notes and coins. These are apparently set in the Cap, Seaside, and Luncheon kingdoms.

As for Breath of the Wild, it seems the entire game is playable with Labo VR, with the one exception being that pre-rendered cutscenes do not support VR. You can simply toggle Labo VR on or off from the settings menu, and thankfully you do not need to create a new game to play with Labo VR.

Both games will be updated on April 25 to support Labo VR.

The Nintendo Labo VR set launches on April 12. The $80 USD kit is billed by Nintendo as the “most immersive, robust Nintendo Labo kit to date…” The kit also comes with a “programming tool” that can be used to create VR games. Check out the video embedded above to see how it works.

Today at the CinemaCon event in Las Vegas, Paramount Pictures presented new trailers and details for the next big video game movie: Sonic the Hedgehog. The event was not streamed and the trailers have not been released, but Gizmodo was in attendance and has a report.

One trailer shows a police officer patrolling a town called Green Hills, when he sees a blue object speed by; the office (played by James Marsden) looks at this speed gun and sees the blue blur is traveling at 760 mph. Of course it’s later revealed to be Sonic.

“Marsden’s officer finds Sonic in a house and is startled by him. Later they’re in a car together and Sonic explains he’s here to save the world,” Gizmodo reported. “Meanwhile, a large tank comes up behind them, so Sonic jumps out of the car, races at the vehicle, and smashes through it. He thinks he’s won, but then another vehicle drops from the remains of the previous one.”

A second trailer showcased more of Jim Carrey’s evil Dr. Robotnik. Gizmodo summarised Carrey’s interpretation as Robotnik thusly: “Think Ace Ventura. Loud, boisterous, a little annoying, that’s Carrey’s take on the character.”

Robotnik is trying to capture Sonic and take him apart to find out how he moves so fast. Another scene shows the scientist dancing to “Everybody Dance Now.” He later meets Marsden’s character, and they don’t get along. Go to Gizmodo for more details and insight from the two trailers.

There is no word on when the trailers will be shown publicly, or if these trailers were custom-made for CinemaCon and not planned for release. CinemaCon is a trade event where movie theatre owners get together; major studios attend and preview their upcoming films. Disney used its presentation to show new footage of Avengers: Endgame, The Lion King, and Aladdin.

Sonic opens in theatres on November 8. Ben Schwartz voices Sonic. The movie is directed by Jeff Fowler, who picked up an Oscar nomination for Gopher Broke, while Deadpool director Tim Miller is producing.

For the past two weeks, Epic Games Store account holders have enjoyed access to a free download of Oxenfree, and today, a new game replaces that title in the Epic Store: The Witness, a gorgeous puzzle game set on a remote and mysterious island. From now until April 18, you can download and keep the The Witness at no cost–all you have to do is sign up for a free Epic account.

The Witness is a single-player adventure with a beautiful open-world setting and more than 500 interesting puzzles to solve. Very little is explained to you as the player, and the subtleties of its puzzles increase over the course of the game. To put it bluntly, The Witness is challenging, but if you like exploration and puzzle-solving, it’s a gratifying experience you won’t soon forget.

GameSpot’s Mike Mahardy gave the game a 9/10 in GameSpot’s The Witness review. “The Witness makes few attempts at handholding, opting instead to convey its mechanics in subtle, cryptic ways as you struggle to make sense of it all,” he wrote. “This is what makes The Witness special. Unlike many puzzle games, it doesn’t just make you feel intelligent–it begins on the assumption that you are intelligent. It trusts that you are a perceptive human being, capable of patience and critical thinking, and it rewards you for using both.”

On April 18, The Witness will be replaced by Epic’s next free game, Transistor, a sci-fi-themed action RPG set in a futuristic city. The Epic Store is giving away free PC game downloads every two weeks to celebrate its first year in business and already has a record of giving out high-quality games, so it’s worth your time to make an account and keep an eye on its current and upcoming deals.
